The Homeless Veteran

So I was walking around my local city Cardiff, a place loads of beggars and Do-Gooders infest.

I noticed some Iraq and Afghanistan soldiers surrounding a Homeless person. It then came to my attention that it was a Vietnam Veteran, he reminded me of PTSD soldiers. He was still dressed in his old Uniform, he was American, that is why he confused me, why is a American veteran living on the streets of Wales?

I did not know it at this time but he was a Ghost. In a dumpster not far away from his "Corner" I found a old, dusty Satin covered notebook. It was a war diary. I am not going to publish all of the diary, but I then noticed that there was a line in it that said, in very messed up handwriting "We dropped the Napalm on (unreadable, rain stained)"

I wanted to know ASAP what place, country or whatever this is.

Inside the notebook it had a death certificate inside it. "JOHN HAROLD TAYLOR BORN 1923. DIED 1964 IN BATTLE OF KHE SAHN." I immediately searched up The Battle Of Khe Sahn on my phone, there was no Napalm dropping. I went to the homeless veteran to ask was this a friend of his, his eyes where then shot blood red, clothes blood stained and multiple fingers decapitated, with dirt marks on his face, possibly camouflage. He did not speak to me but he nodded when i asked questions, so John Taylor was him, I was shocked and I was crying, knowing that he was killed in action, and of course that i was speaking to a ghost. I said goodbye to the man then I caught the 132 bus back home.

When I got home I thought I was robbed, but it was just my dog going ransack. I just went to bed because I was majorly tired, and I can only remember this dream in parts, I will try to explain it. It was in first person, I was clearly in a war atmosphere. I translated the speech I heard and it was one of Fidel Castro's old speeches.

I went back and he wasn't there. Just a note. He has moved on and he is now in Heaven. He left me his purple heart medal.

I hope he's okay. The Purple Heart is now framed and above my bed. God bless his soul.
